Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler - Louis (Death) 1624 coin from Anhalt-Köthen (German States) is interesting because it features a unique design that commemorates the death of Louis, the ruler of Anhalt-Köthen, who passed away in 1624. The coin's design includes an image of Louis on the obverse (front side), surrounded by a Latin inscription that translates to "Louis, Duke of Anhalt, died on September 25, 1624." The reverse (back side) of the coin features the coat of arms of Anhalt-Köthen, along with the mint master's initials and the year of minting (1624). This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a limited number of coins minted, making it a fascinating piece of history for numismatists and history enthusiasts alike.
